OverviewAI-generated summary
Leanne Whiteside-Mansell's research focuses on public health interventions, particularly concerning child development, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and obesity prevention in early care settings. She has investigated strategies for obesity prevention in childcare through cluster randomized hybrid trials and adaptive implementation trials, examining predictors of program sustainment. Her work also explores the impact of ACEs on healthcare utilization and developmental outcomes in early childhood, utilizing latent class approaches to analyze interrelatedness of these experiences.
Whiteside-Mansell has also led research on targeted HIV prevention education and examined interventions to improve safe sleep knowledge among expectant teens. She is a highly cited researcher with an h-index of 36 and over 3,400 citations across her 140 publications. She leads a research group and maintains an active lab website, collaborating with colleagues such as James P. Selig, Dong Zhang, Lorraine McKelvey, and Geoffrey M. Curran at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
